  Really enjoyed our short stay thank you

• "We had a wonderful week at Ducksfoot Barn."

  The place is a delightful barn conversion. It has been well fitted out, with every amenity. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. There is a front and back garden that was great for our dog, who loved it there. The Barn is in an area very convenient as a base to travel to many other places. We are very happy to recommend Ducksfoot Barn.

• "This beautiful barn was a real joy to holiday in, we had a very soggy, blustery week and were so happy to come back each day to such a warm and cosy retreat."

  Everything was provided for our comfort and we enjoyed it all! Woke up to nothing but birdsong each morning - bliss...

• "A beautiful barn conversion in the heart of the countryside."

  Beds very comfy and sitting areas excellent. Very well equipped. Two courtyards mean you can enjoy the sun at any time of day. Roads very quiet and suitable for walking. Very near to Boudicca Way. Excellent pub and village shop in Pulham Market, about 3 mile round trip. Very pleasant owners. Really enjoyed ourselves and didn't want to leave.

• "Loved the barn, the only reason for less points on ‘accuracy’ of listing, is pictures do not show that the patio areas are now enclosed - which is actually better if you have a dog with you."

  We had been concerned about that before we arrived. No worries about recommending Ducksfoot Barn for anybody (and their dog.)

  We understand that staying in the country we are going to experience flies but perhaps moving the waste bins away from the kitchen window might stop so many flies entering the property. We couldn't open the kitchen window because of this.

• "The Barn itself was great, however we had a problem with a great amount of flies, We realise that we were in the countryside and the temperature was above average but it was plain that they have a problem with flies as they supplied us with two fly swatters and notices that they did have pest control to spray the windows from time to time."

  We found it difficult to cook as we could not leave any food uncovered and while eating we were constantly trying to waft away the flies from our food . The flies were crawling over the floors and the kitchen tops even when there was no food present. Consequently we ate out most of the time. It was unfortunate as we were looking forward to this holiday. We vacated the Barn two days early as by this time we had had enough. The kitchen itself in my opinion is tired and could do with a makeover also the oven was not working as it should. Could not and would not recommend this holiday.

  We are always pleased to receive feedback from our guests so thank you for posting your comments. We do not specifically have a problem with flies in our cottages, however, flies are commonplace in the countryside as they thrive in wooded areas, crops and on manure left behind by farm animals. During July and August crops are harvested and organic manure is spread on the fields to help grow the next years crop. This does mean that there are often more flies around at this time - this year, the exceptionally hot weather appears to have exacerbated the situation. We completely understand that flies are a nuisance which is why, for the comfort of our guests, we provide as many solutions as possible, for example; fly screens on doors and windows, fly papers, fly swats and spray, fly zappers and we have our windows sprayed by professional pest controllers. We find that normally these help keep the fly numbers down to pretty low levels but we are sorry to hear that you found them such a nuisance. We are sorry to hear your comment about the kitchen, we haven't previously had any comments about the kitchen being tired, many guests have said how well appointed it is. We will certainly review it and see if it needs attention. We are also concerned to hear that you had problems with the oven. We would always prefer guests to bring any issues with equipment to our attention during their stay. This gives us the opportunity to check and rectify both for the current guests and for the next guests - if we don't know, we can't sort. I have spoken to the guests that are in the Barn this week to check that the oven is working OK. They said that the controls are a little different to the oven they have at home, but this was easily sorted by checking the oven manual that is in the property folder. They confirm that the oven is working perfectly. Once again, thank you for your feedback, it is appreciated. Property Owner

• "Our first impression after we opened the door was:”Wow!"

  ” It’s a beautiful property. We especially liked the gallery with loads of books, dvds and games. It’s clean and it smells nice. There were lovely flowers on the table, together with a box with delicious biscuits. We met Sarah, the owner, in front of the door when we arrived and she gave us some info where it’s good to go to eat and spend time with our children. There are also loads of leaflets on the shelf in the living room, together with a visitor’s book where one can read about good places to visit. The only “not so good” thing is that the water pressure is the best in the walk in shower in the utility room. I must add that’s it’s not a big problem and that, if we ever want to visit that part of England again, we’d definitely stay at this property again.

  The owners made sure we were comfortable and happy with everything the first evening we arrived. It's situation with a dog was excellent, quiet roads for the shorter 'comfort break' walks and Tyrrells' Wood a shortish walk or 3minutes in the car for those longer hour plus walks with, in our case an exuberant Working Cocker.

  Ducksfoot Farm is in a lovely setting. The Barn itself combines the rustic of the setting with the contemporary interior design, giving a wow factor. The beds were so comfortable and clean, and every necessity for a self catering holiday had been provided. There are lots of recommendations of places to visit and eat, and the local pub in Pulham Market served great food in a nice atmosphere. A very pretty area. Norwich, Sandringham and Southwold are worth visits. The icing on the cake was the appearance of the mother duck with her twelve ducklings from the duck pond proudly marching around the garden!

  We were just two with our dog who despite the weather managed to have a relaxing time and a chance to catch up with friends. We found a lovely warm reception for both us and the dog at The Swan in Coney Weston, where we enjoyed a nice meal and had a relaxing afternoon. If you want somewhere nice and near to walk your pooch then Tyrell’s wood is only 4 minutes away by car or if the weather is nice then local footpaths are within walking distance. For local produce you couldn’t go far wrong with Goodies which is not much further on from Tyrrel’s wood and has a nice selection of fresh, frozen homemade meals. There is also a butchers and if you want to enjoy a bit of lunch out then also a nice cafe. This was our second time to Ducksfoot Barn and I’m sure that it will not be our last visit there as we love it, especially the peace and quiet.
